The turn order was:
Jaques de Carufel
Rynn
Mark13
XWaste
Vultur
V can't open the game as somehow XWaste has saved it with the Pirates' password blocked off.
XWaste - can you replay the turn and resend to Vultur (we'll overlook the multiple play message).
The game moved smoothly from JdC thru me and mark13 to you, so the problem lies in your pass off to Vultur (and I know you are in other PBEMs so it's unlikely that you would save & exit incorrectly, but for the pbem newcomers in the group bear with me and I'll walk us through the process.)
First time opening the game:
when you load for the first time, you will get a scxreen that is headed next player turn...Captain Svensgaard of the pirates....Mission year 2101....set password or press enter
insert a password and hit "OK" do not hit "enter", do not hit "save and exit".
A fresh screen will load that says Password....please verify new password
reinsert the password you have just created and hit OK
The game should now be loaded for you to play the turn
saving the game and passing on the turn:
hit "turn complete "when you have finished the turn
A screen will pop up that says Next Player Turn, etc....set password or press enter: with the further option of:
[b[save and exit[/b] or [OK[/b] being offered. Choose the "save and exit" option, entering nothing at the password prompt, save the file, zip it, and pass it on to the next in sequence (the gfaction was indicated on the save and exit screen that had come up just before you saved and exited.
Vultur: It sounds like you hit an "enter" somewhere along the line, or inserted a password then didn't confirm it when prompted. I can't see XWaste saving and exiting with a password (maybe, tho...)
Anyway, XWaste - can you replay and resend making sure there is no password that blocks Vultur?

Yeah, it went to turn 2102 when I finished, so Vulturs password has already been set.
I think JCD may have inadvertantly set the password. The first start turn screen he would have seen would have been Vulturs, so he would have had to go through that turn to play his.

Turn received, played and sent about 3 hours ago....

"Scout, report."
"Another fungal bloom, sir, we can't control this."
'Fungal' and 'bloom' were not the words Mark wanted to hear.
"Any more towers?"
"Negative, sir, although there is a hell of a lot of fungus around here. Totally inhospitable."
The fact remained that there was a large amount of fungus on the main island. Only 8 spaces remained fungus-free - a future job, maybe, for the Gaian Terraforming Squad. But not now. For now, the focus was on findign a moe hospitable island to colonize. This may mean a few round trips for our Unity Foil, but it will be done. However it is achieved, it will be done.

2105 to Mark13
Cha-Rynn looked up, a smile creasing her face. "Good news, brothers and sisters. Our colony pod crew has reported that they have selected the site they mentioned just to the northeast, and they have founded a second base."
She paused, and a look of intense concentration clouded her face, as she put her fingers to her temples. Looking up she said:
"It appears that we are not alone on this Planet. Alphonse is reporting contact with an alien race"
They looked up, interested. Alphonse was the mindworm that Cha Rynn had captured and trained as a child.
"Of course he cannot communicate with them, and waits with some trepidation as to what their response will be upon seeing him. I have ordered our scout patrol to head for his co-ordinates."
They nodded their approval. "What news of the scout patrol?"
She muttered into her commlink and looked up:
"Contact was made with another wild mindworm, but again our capture attempts failed, resulting in the unfortunate death and incineration of the worm. While the contribution to our energy credits reserves is welcome I would rather we tamed these potential recruits. I have so instructed the patrol."
They nodded in unison.

2106 to the Captain
The Data Angels are upset that depression is obstructing their gathering of information. Nothing must stop the retrieval of foreign logs...operatives are to consider the liberal dispension of prozac when in the field.
